Summary: Learn how to display your Windows PowerShell Help in a new window.

Hey, Scripting Guy! Question How can I keep my Windows PowerShell Help open so I can look at it while I am trying my new code?

Hey, Scripting Guy! Answer Use the ShowWindow parameter. It will open a new window that contains your Help and allow you to move
           it around on your screen. More importantly, it returns your Windows PowerShell console back to you.
           Here is such a command:

Get-Help about_Classes -ShowWindow

The "Scripting Guys" is a historical title passed from scripter to scripter. The current revision has morphed into our good friend Doctor Scripto who has been with us since the very beginning.
